Vegan Black Bean Burgers

According to Robert, this is the "Best One Yet." You can be the judge of that with the recipe below!

This burger has over 10 grams of protein from veggie sources!

Ingredients:

o1 t olive oil

o½ red onion, chopped

o2 carrots, chopped

o½ bell pepper, chopped

o5 mushrooms, chopped

o2 cloves garlic, minced

o2 T ketchup - note, most ketchup contains high fructose corn syrup. I buy the "natural" or "organic" kinds to prevent this!

o2 T mustard

o2 t ground cumin

o2 t ground chili powder

o¼ t salt

o¼ cu breadcrumbs

o1 can black beans, drained and rinsed -or- 1 cu cooked dry black beans, drained

oBuns and other desired toppings



Directions:

1.Preheat oven to 450°F.

2.Heat olive oil in skillet. Saute onions, carrots, peppers, and garlic for 4 – 5 minutes. Season with ketchup, mustard, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Stir, remove from heat and let cool.

3. I made my breadcrumbs by putting the ends of a loaf of whole wheat in the food processor and pulsing on high until it looks like the picture above.

4. Place veggies in a food processor with black beans and breadcrumbs. Pulse 5 times to combine.

5. Form mixture into 3 - 200gram patties. Chill for 30 minutes in fridge.

6. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

I served these with whole wheat and sesame seed flatbread. But that's another show!

Enjoy!
